3.Accessing and Managing Files

The LaCie Network Space has two permanent shares (similar to folders) – a password-protected share called “myshare” and a public one called “openshare” that anyone connected to the net- work can access. You can also connect an external hard drive to use as a backup for your LaCie Network Space or as additional storage. External drives appear as separate shares and are ac- cessible by anyone on the network.

Use LaCie Network Assistant to access your shared folders for the first time.

3.1. Accessing Shared Folders

When your computer is connected to your local area network, LaCie Network Assistant will help you quickly connect to the shared folders (“myshare” and “openshare”) on your LaCie Network Space and, if you like, make those folders immediately available every time to you log on to your computer.

To access shared folders:

1.Open LaCie Network Assistant (LNA). Click on the LNA icon in the system tray (Windows users) or menu bar (Mac users).

2.Select openshare or myshare from the LNA menu. The list of shares will open in a Windows Explorer or Mac Finder window.

TECHNICAL NOTE: You may need to enter the username and password for “myshare.” The defaults are:

Username: admin

Password: admin

Your system may remember this information and might not ask for it during the same session. No password is required for “openshare.”

See section 4.2.6. Edit Accounts for information on changing the User account information.

3.Simply drag and drop files to and from this window, just like a regular folder.
